Report: Pelicans fire 2 team doctors after they misdiagnosed Saints player

Two orthopedists who worked for the New Orleans Pelicans and Saints have been fired from both teams, an NFL source told Josh Katzenstein of The Times-Picayune.

Dr. Deryk Jones and Dr. Misty Suri were reportedly let go following their misdiagnosis of Saints cornerback Delvin Breaux's leg injury, which was initially ruled a contusion but was revealed on Monday to be a fractured fibula.

As a result of the initial diagnosis, the Saints were pressuring Breaux to return to the field despite his insistence that he was still experiencing pain.
